albums of the year ~ 2012

to my mind, 2012 was as diverse a year as any in electronic terms, with disperate scenes, locales, labels and so on all plotting thier own unique routes rather than following some overriding but unwritten consensus.

redshape ~ in trust we space on present

the dance paradox from 2009 is immovably one of my favourite records. thankfully, since then, the reclusive producer behind it has continued to explore his fine grain house and techno template – often on delsin, here on his own present – with equally beguiling results.  the below-the-surface tension of his drums; the mystery of his outer planetary visions and the authenticity of his emotions are the elements redshape has come to perfect, and the ones which again define this ep, in trust we space (which, i’m sorry to say, i’m late on – it came out in april).
